Man Sentenced To 30 Years For Attack On Pelosi Family

prison

In a recent development, the man convicted of attacking Paul Pelosi, the husband of Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, has been sentenced to 30 years in prison. The attacker, David Dupap, will serve his two sentences concurrently, receiving 20 years in federal prison for the attempted kidnapping of a federal official and 30 years for the assault on the immediate family member of a federal official.

The incident took place over a year and a half ago when David Dupap broke into the home of Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi and attacked her husband, Paul, with a hammer, causing severe injuries. The break-in and assault were captured on surveillance video and body-worn cameras worn by police officers present at the scene.

During the sentencing, victim statements were read on behalf of Paul and Nancy Pelosi. Paul mentioned ongoing health issues and fear due to the attack, leading to increased security measures in response to continued threats. Nancy Pelosi described their home as a constant reminder of the tragic event, turning it into a heartbreaking crime scene.

David Dupap's federal case has now concluded with the 30-year prison sentence. He is set to face additional charges in a state trial later this summer, including attempted murder, burglary, and assault. The outcome of the state trial will determine the further legal consequences for the attacker.
